In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe in the transformative power of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the lives of our members. Because of this, we offer support through the Family Services Line, a comprehensive resource designed to assist leaders and members facing emotional and mental health challenges, helping them to make and keep sacred covenants.
